Eva Herzigova works the lace trend in a white Valentino Spring 2007 Couture strapless gown. I must say this gown looks so much more better on Herzigova than it does on the model.

Miss Claire Danes went for an unusual choice in this Valentino Spring 2008 Couture cocktail dress and she wears it with so well. She really does stand out from the rest.

Charlize Theron did not wear Valentino but opted for a rich purple Gucci dress from the Fall 2008 collection.

Liz Hurley reminded me of a modern day Cleopatra in this stunning champagne coloured gown. A very daring choice with the plunging neckline but if anyone can get away with it than it would be no other than Hurley.

Natalia Vodianova was a bit more modest in her white gown, that had a beautiful trail.

Straight off the runway: Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron attended the 'Hancock' Japan Premiere at JCB Hall last Thursday in Tokyo, Japan. Yes, everyone's already seen the movie, however, Japan are a bit behind with the films as Hancock doesn't open till August 30. As usual, Theron looked amazing in a figure hugging black lace dress from Prada's Fall 2008 collection. Her dress is a modification of the runway version, and also a massive improvement. Theron's unusual shoes are also from the Fall collection.

Straight off the runway: Maria Sharapova

Oh my my. Maria Sharapova looks like she left her other sleeve at home. Sharapova took some time off from her tennis duties to attend the unveiling of the new Canon PowerShot Diamond Collection at Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport in New York City last Wednesday. Yes, the one shoulder trend is in, but this is one shoulder is a bit too extreme, it looks very 80's don't you think? If the sleeve wasn't missing, this Lanvin dress would have looked stunning.

Straight off the runway: "The Hills" Season 4 Premiere Party Live From Malibu

This could possibly be the last season for the reality girls of The Hills. With that in mind, the premiere party went out with a bang and was aired live from Malibu. All of the ladies looked fabulous wearing dresses from Roberto Cavalli to Herve Leger. Suprisingly, Lauren Conrad looks very un Lauren Conrad in a silk Maxi dress from Roberto Cavalli's Spring 2008 collection, i like this chic boho look on her. Audrina Patridge glowed in a turqouise Julia Clancey halter and opted for messy beach hair. Heidi Montag, whose style i don't usually like, actually looked gorgeous in a figure hugging Herve Leger bandage mini dress.

Cast memebers, Whitney Port and Stephanie Pratt also attended. Port always hits it right in the wardrobe department at events and this is no exception. Pratt also opted for a maxi dress going a bit more glam in silver and white.

ID that shoe: Rachel Bilson

Jumper actress Rachel Bilson was spotted some weeks ago on her way to grab lunch at the Californian/European style café and bakery Alcove Cafe in the trendy Los Feliz neighborhood. Bilson kept is simple in a navy summer dress which was worn with her much loved Zac Posen 'Pumpkin' Drawstring Bag and Raybans. I am in love with her interesting Sigerson Morrison woven sandals! Which is a different take on the usual sandals we see on celebrities these days.
